Features: Although this therapy has no dedicated monograph, it has long been practiced by people and evolved from snake venom, scorpion venom, and spider venom therapies. Liu Zongyuan's "Tale of the" in the Tang Dynasty mentions snake venom for healing, and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records spider venom therapy. With the development of medical science, bee venom therapy has gradually gained attention from physicians and been applied in clinical practice. Currently, bee venom has been formulated into injections for treatment. This book is divided into two parts. The first part is the Basic Principles section, and the second part is the Treatment section. The Basic Principles section outlines the origin, research, treatment principles, acupuncture point selection and prescription principles, sensations and signs after bee venom therapy, indications and contraindications, characteristics of allergic reactions, and prevention methods. The Treatment section lists bee venom therapies for diseases in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and otolaryngology.
